Posted on Friday 31st December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Quick report as I need to rush off out.


It's a full on snow storm at the moment. Very poor visibility. About 50cm I just measured and there's more in some places. Kumanoyu and Yakebitaiyama both reporting 40cm.


Given the conditions there might be some lift disruption especially at the start of the day.


See you tomorrow. There'll be more snow to report.
